This pic is of a place called Teotihuacan that is about 45 minutes outside of mexico city. Its a huge tourist trap but its still really impresive. My butt is still sore from the climb to the top. And oh ya....i bought Alex something really cool from a mexican at the bottom of this pyramid. My bartering skills are definately improving!
Heres the Director of our program for the first 6 weeks. His name is Pedro and everybody loves him. Hes from spain but sounds like he has an english accent since he lived there for eight years. He always wears his safari hat and is always taking amazing picture. (almost as many as the infamous Billographer....the only difference is the amazing part.)
This was super fun. We took these little boats around this island that was surrounded by kind of a river which was supposed to show us how life would have been before Mexico City. By that i mean. when is was just an island where the Aztecs lived.
This is a pic of downtown Mexico City. This open square is called the Zocalo and our hostel was like a 2 minute walk from here. The square is the second largest in the world behind Red Square in Moscow. Mexico City was crazy. It definately had a different feel. Its the only place that I have been where I felt people were out to "get me." But it was still awesome.
Alright well thats all. I will try to get the pics that I take up here for the next blog. Alrighty.....hope all it well. Adios

Chase, it's hard to believe you're still there! I was just thinking this morning about my Mexico trip and how you left before I did and you never came back! Pretty cool. Let's hear some details on the people, like your host family and the people in your classes. Are the classes pretty impersonal like college, where you just show up then leave or is there a sense of community there? Are you tan as all get out?
I've been working, enjoying spending time with Lindsay and wakeboarding at least once or twice a week. Yesterday a guy from our church gave me some fat sacks for free so the wake yesterday was sweet! We've got a Houseboat trip planned for Shasta in August, when are you getting back? I guess you can reply here on your blog or on mine or send me an email. See ya buddy!
